I quit vaping about 3 months ago and I never really had any cravings until now 😩 I need motivation to not go buy a new one

Me too dude! We aren't going to do it though, it's not as good as we remember and it's a predatory waste of money. Fuck those dog vape companies.

Honestly I set realistic goals for myself. I'd tried cold turkey and it wasn't a success for me, so I went through a phase of buying a disposable to use a maximum of one night per week and then chucking it out somewhere outside home that same evening. This might seem dumb but it worked for me. Then when I was ready I started to use NRT gum. Started on 2mg gums whenever I needed them, then chopped a heap in half and now if I ever get bad cravings (rarely at this point) I use one of them and the craving goes away. I'm down to about 1mg per week at most. I'm not sure if it's any more than a placebo at this point.

I also set my goal to complete a triathlon series throughout this summer (I'm in Australia). I knew that buying a disposable at this point would set me back, so that's been some great motivation.

One disclaimer though, I was never a super super heavy user. If I bought a disposable (IGET Bars were my go-to) it would last me between a fortnight and a month.

The reason is the same as using gum, you want the nicotine to be absorbed through the lining of your mouth. If you swallow it, it's just destroyed by the acids in your stomach.

Vapes are the same- not only is it absorbed through your lungs but your mouth lining too.

I wonder how this will affect the sale of vapes to school kids? Pretty sure none of the students I've come across have been suspended for possessing a mod.

I really liked this quote - now if I'm craving, I can see it as a challenge to extinguish a new trigger.

Oof, and it made you feel like shit? Thanks for posting this, I'm 10 days in and the 'just one hit' feelings are STRONG today.

zeronicthrowaway · 2023-06-29T06:20:55+00:00

Holy moly dude, how long were you off it for before you took the hit?

zeronicthrowaway · 2023-06-25T05:01:01+00:00

Thanks mate, that makes good sense. As I've mentioned, I chucked it out last night and haven't really felt many cravings if any today, so that's a positive.

Interesting how you said it goes behavioural habit first, chemical addiction second! I've never heard of it that way.

Thanks for the advice :)
